Beaches in the area are typically left with significant amounts of trash and plastic after the Fourth of July. To address this issue, the Surfrider Foundation is organizing a beach cleanup event. The event, referred to as the "Dirtiest Beach Day of the Year," aims to remove trash from beaches before it reaches the ocean.

The Surfrider Foundation has a local chapter in South Texas that will be involved in the cleanup efforts. Further details about the event, including the specific location and time, are available from the Surfrider Foundation or through ValleyCentral.
